The Uses of 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane

1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane (CAS# 78560-44-8) is a useful compound used as part of antireflective coatings for solar cell efficiency improvement. The high level of hydrophobicity of 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane also makes it useful as coating for electrical insulators.

What are the applications of Application

DTS(FBTTh2)2 can be used as a conjugating polymer that forms a donor-acceptor system with acceptor molecules such as perylene diimide, PC71BM and other fullerenes for the fabrication of bulk-heterojunction based solar cells.
A tri-functional fluoro-carbon terminated silane (1H,1H,2H,2Hperfluorodecyltrichlorosilane, PFTCS) was used in solutions of hexane to create surfaces with teflon-like properties.

What are the applications of Application

1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane is a halogenated compound used for biochemical research

General Description

DTS(FBTTh₂)₂ is a conductive polymer that can be used as a donor molecule. It has a narrow band gap and shows a maximum power conversion efficiency of 7.0%. Its photostability is more than that of P3HT.

Advantages

As a hydrophobic coating, 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane (FDTS) to all surfaces having access to organic coating solutions could minimize release stiction. Replacement of the organic fluids with water produces a condition in which the fluid no longer wets machine components, minimizing capillary forces below the level needed to pull compliant structures into contact. Both octadecyltrichlorosilane and FDTS have the added benefits of reducing in-use stiction, friction, and wear, with FDTS exhibiting lower adhesion. This compound also could be used to establish a facile construction of transparent and amphiphobic coatings. The fluoroalkyl silane groups were grafted onto the ChNFs coating surface after the PFDTS deposition. The prepared transparent and amphiphobic coatings are promising in anti-fingerprint protection for optical lenses/sensors and display screens[1-2].
